Jobs & Internships Near VCU — Richmond to the DMV

Virginia Commonwealth University students have an advantage a lot of grads don't: Richmond and the DMV are both within reach. VCU feeds talent into Richmond's health systems, finance, marketing, and creative industries — and, up the I-95 corridor, into the defense, cyber, and federal markets around Fredericksburg, Northern Virginia, and DC. JobZone runs in-person hiring events across that whole corridor, so a VCU student or alum doesn't have to choose between staying local and chasing the bigger DMV market — you can work both.

Jobs and Internships for VCU Students & Alumni

Whether you're in the Robertson School, the School of Business, the College of Engineering, or the arts, JobZone career fairs put you in front of employers who hire in person across Virginia. Rams looking for internships during the school year often target Richmond employers; graduating seniors weighing a move toward DC's higher-paying defense and tech market get the most out of our Fredericksburg and Northern Virginia events, which are an easy drive from campus. Either way, you're meeting recruiters directly instead of competing as one more online application.
